Fixing Park & Seventh
This crater-pocked section of Park & Seventh has made walking across the street even more of a hazard than usual for the past several weeks. Pedestrians not only had to look both ways for lunging cars, but also had to keep an eye on the crumbling asphalt, pools of water and sprays from leaks in the temporary hoses.
To the rescue! A small front end loader wheeled around the intersection Wednesday with a load of patching material to mend the roadway. Now pedestrians can pay full attention to those careening SUVs with drivers on cell phones!--Bernice Paglia

Bernice,
When are they supposed to finish all of this nightmare on the streets? Aside from the water fountains that shoot across the streets, you have all of those disgusting looking pipes all over Plainfield, big pot holes that are damaging our cars, the pipes themselves that damage our tires and cars, crumbled rubble everywhere making it impossible to walk anywhere, flooding sides of the roads and last but not least, it will be getting very cold soon and things will start to freeze. Can you imagine this nightmare frozen?
They are supposed to be finished in November. They did fix the giant pothole at East Seventh where the buses turn. But today walking around downtown I saw lots of leaks. And tonight, with leaves starting to pile up, the hoses across the sidewalk are very hard to see. Pedestrians need to be extra careful and maybe use a flashlight to avoid tripping.

Thank God that this will all be over by November!!!! But there is still a problem. Look at how awful the roads are now because of all of this. Are they planning on re paving every single street that they worked on to fix the roads? They look and are horrible. If they decide to just do patch work, that never works, it eventually sinks in and makes another pot hole. My car has already been damaged by their metal plates. It made my muffler get disconnected from the Catalytic Converter to the exhaust pipes. I don't even want to imagine what horror we are in for if they don't re pave.
